Ben Ogden

Ben Ogden, born on February thirteenth, two thousand, is an accomplished American cross-country skier who has made significant strides in the sport since joining the U.S. Cross Country Ski Team in two thousand nineteen.

His remarkable journey began to gain international attention in two thousand eighteen at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships held in Goms, Switzerland. There, Ogden and his teammates achieved a historic milestone by securing a silver medal in the junior men's relay, marking the first-ever medal for the U.S. men at a World Juniors Championship event.

Ogden's prowess on the snow continued to shine at the twenty twenty-six Winter Olympics, where he clinched a silver medal in the men's sprint. This achievement was particularly noteworthy as it made him the first American to win an Olympic medal in men's cross-country skiing since Bill Koch's silver in nineteen seventy-six.
